the red warning light comes on when there is low charging voltage test for charging voltage between the alternator and battery should be roughly 14 volts
CHECK YOUR COIL & CHANGE OUT THE NECESSARY CIRCUIT BREAKERS, CHECK YOUR RELAYS FOR THE DASH CONSOLE, THE FUSES FOR THE DASH CONSOLE/STEREO & HEADLIGHTS
no. on most new cars the computer has a memory bank & it will recall all existing trouble codes until they are corrected. eg. my oil & battery light came on the dash, after putting in a new battery, the light went out but my oil light came on again. after changing my oil, the light went out as well. everything goes back to normal. to check this yourself after changing your battery, turn the ignition to on without starting the car & you will see your dash light up with all the standard warning symbols. that means all is ok & will all go out when car is operating normal. see ya.
you may have to reset the computer. you can do this by unhooking the battery for about 30 minutes or go to a auto parts store and theyhave a scanner that can reset it with the push of a button
check all battey connections and system grounds. Check that the battery has 12v and holds properly when load tested. To check charging system, don't disconnect any battery leads...put a volt meter across the battery. when running, you should have at least 12.9v and volts should not drop. (usual reading is generally at or near 13) at idle with all accessories on voltage should be close to that as well. voltage should not exceed 14.Also make sure that drive belt is not slipping.
if you have no ignition lights on your dash, no reverse lights and if when you start the car up the battery light stays on your ignition fuse has blown controlling these items. change the fuse. not sure if it is your ignition lights by your posting. if it is not please give a more detailed report,try to help if i can. hope this helps.
Further test showed that the interior (dome) and exterior light
flickered only while driving. The problem was that the battery rack is
broken. The battery negative terminal connect to the motor (OK) but
also to the frame of the car through the battery rack. Since that rack
is broken, the grounding of the car was intermittent. Whenever I
shifted, it made the motor move in relation to the frame of the car, so
that's why is caused all the light to turn on in the dash.
Under the dash on drivers side is the black box for the security system. If you look on the box there is a little red button. Push the button for a couple of secounds and it will click and stop your marker lights and dash lights from flashing. It is a stock anti theft part of the security system. Hope this helps.
